opponents as one OF the greatest barriers in our

ants on Lord CtanncardeS estate the women rem
dered active service In holding the enemy at bay
by pouring Scalding hot lime water on the heads
OF their assa1lantS. II all the heroic deeds OF
women recorded In history and In daily journals
and the active virtues so forcibly illustrated ever
and anon in domestic life, have not yet convinced
our opponents that women are possessed OF supe-
rtOr fighting qualities the sex may feel called upon
in the near future to give some further lllustra-
lions OF their prOweS6 OF one thing they may be
